Good morning. Our trials, tribulations, and struggles are to help us grow. We really don’t know the depth of our character until it is tested. It’s easy for us to praise the Lord when we are in good health, have enough money in the bank, our households are in tact, and our friends are plenty. But when our health fails, our money is funny, our households are falling apart, and our friends are few; we should see this as an opportunity to grow. God never leaves us alone during our trying times. He’s standing close by to help us grow. In these trying times our prayers should be; “Lord help me to endure and teach me what I need to learn, please don’t let me stunt my own growth with murmuring and complaining.”
James 1:2-4
Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing
Pastor Brown
